If I'm reading this correctly, there is no way to get into the 4s (International Terminal) lounge after arriving in Madrid? We'll be herded right through customs, then we'll be outside of security?

I was really hoping to get a shower upon arrival.

Yes, I cannot remember after clearing immigration the ability to re-enter T4S after getting your passport stamped.

You do have another option.

Before your trip buy a refundable economy ticket from AA.com that departs later in the day. (MAD-JFK)
Clear customs (to get passport stamp)
Go T4S to T4...
Get back on train T4 to T4S...
Go back to T4...

Note you must have OneWorld Sapphire or Emerald status and traveling internationally to get access to the club.

You can then go online or to any AA ticket counter to cancel your ticket for a refund. It takes 14-21 days to process back to your Credit Card.
